There is something to be said about not giving too much control to the algorithms when it comes to the news. HuffPo is loud, obnoxious, and frankly it aggregates a lot of garbage. I'm glad we still have news sources like the NYTimes, BBC, a

GTK3 is a widget toolkit. Most window managers, especially tiling window managers, don't draw any widgets (or draw their own simple widgets when necessary). The window managers that are part of the Gnome desktops (Metacity, Gnome Shell, Uni

Even though I have no sympathy for people who are opposed to gay marriage as private citizens, as Google shareholders I don't feel they should be forced with a choice between supporting their beliefs (however wrongheaded they may seem to m

At an optical store, designer frames with nice lenses will run you over $500 a pair. This is false. Designer frames (Gucci, Nike, Kate Spade, Prodesign) retail around $120-$240. (I think? I'm going from memory here...) Lens pricing varies

This is a little weird for me. I've got a couple optometrists in the family who own their own practice. A lot of this article rings completely false. Kind of makes me wonder, when reading about other "disruptors" what information is exagger

Can we find better sources? Florian Müller has failed to disclose when he is consulting/working for companies he is writing about and has been pretty seriously wrong in his "predictions", most notably the Oracle v. Google case over Java/And

I used to feel the same way, and now I feel that sentiment is pretty naive. In our culture in the US responsibility is typically associated with adulthood. The more of it you have the more "grown up" you are. And you've probably heard phras

I lived in Atlanta for about 10 years and had many encounters with homeless people. I've had them knock on my front door, approach me in the grocery store, come talk to me when my car broke down, etc. Most of the time, of course, they just

Aren't there legal hurdles that vary by country and state? Perhaps that's why it is better to have specialists sites (like Gunbroker). That's just a wild-ass-guess. Feel free to tell me I'm wrong.

Jennifer 8. Lee, a former reporter for The Times... That was not a typo. This person's middle name is the number 8: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jennifer_8._Lee Lee was not given a middle name at birth, but instead chose "8." as a teen

Gnome shell, while still somewhat unfinished, has some very cool ideas. I really like the JavaScript shell extensions that you can enable/disable right from the Gnome Shell Extension website. I was surprised when I stumbled on that.

What about the user, how can they run an untrusted executable? I never figured this out when I ran into this problem. This is the reason I dropped Norton 360, a product I was given for free from work. I'm just using MS security essentials n

I'd also like to add: "What kind of business model is that, extorting companies for using Linux?" I still get a very ant-competitive and anti-free-culture vibe from the place.
